Aston Villa struggled for 80 minutes in the Carling Cup clash against Hereford but Eric Lichaj eventually turned in a scrappy goal and Nathan Delfouneso added a second two minutes from time to make sure as they recorded a 2-0 second-round victory.

West Brom had an easier time in dispatching Bournemouth 4-1 at Dean Court. Jerome Thomas scored an early goal for the Baggies and Marc-Antoine Fortune had doubled the advantage by half-time.

Steve Lovell turned in Scott Malone's cross to get Bournemouth back in it early in the second half, but Simon Cox soon replied for West Brom and Fortune's 78th-minute strike settled it.

Wolves cruised to a 4-0 win over Northampton with Nenad Milijas and Sam Vokes adding to a brace from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, while Sven-Goran Eriksson's Leicester had to come from behind to see off Bury 4-2 at Gigg Lane.

Jeffery Schlupp's superb opener put the Foxes in front before Bury stunned the visitors as Andrai Jones and Ryan Lowe scored either side of half-time to turn it around, but Paul Gallagher levelled it with a free-kick before Lloyd Dyer put Leicester in front and Neil Danns made sure late on.

Ramon Nunez scored a brace as Leeds beat Yorkshire rivals Doncaster 2-1 at the Keepmoat Stadium. Nunez's first came after half an hour to cancel out James Hayter's early opener.
